925-318-4825

Received text from 925-318-4825 in regard to an unspecified craigslist item I had for sale. My ad clearly stated the items were for sale as is, where is, no trades. The text is as follows, but with the last portion changed to x's to protect others.
"Hi, my name is Linda. if you're interested in trade, please check my ad: http://dayytton.ucoz.net/xxxxxxxxxx.htm + cash ?"
The link was not to Craig's list but looked like it and said it was a private listing, which Craig's list does not have. I was supposed to enter my user name and password for Craig's list to view the item they wanted to trade. The link was on a free web hosting/developer site located in Russia. I did not enter any information since that would give them free access to my account on Craig's List and access to any personal information there. Also the area code of the number is in California and I am in Wisconsin, so it is unlikely that they would pick up the unspecified item here. They were fishing for information to use for wrongfull purposes. Please be aware of scams such as this.
